Richest Fictional Characters

Forbes Magazine has come out with their annual list of the richest fictional characters (you'd think they had better things to do with their time...but hey it's fun) and this year the list is led by the grouchy and stingy billionaire Uncle Scrooge McDuck (see above) with an estimated net worth of $28.8 billion dollars (from mining and treasure hunting) .

The rest of the top 10:

Ming the Merciless ($20.9 billion from technology, slavery, and domination of the planet Mongo)

Richie Rich ($16.1 billion; trust fund baby)

Mom ($15.7 billion; owner of MomCorp, the future's biggest conglomerate)

Jed Clampett ($11 billion; oil man/Beverly Hillbilly)

C. Montgomery Burns ($8.4 billion; ruthless energy tycoon)

Carter Pewterschmidt ($7.2 billion; steel baron/media tycoon)

Bruce Wayne ($7 billion; heir/owner of Wayne Enterprises/caped crusader)

Thurston Howell III ($6.3 billion/owner of Howell Enterprises/castaway)

Tony Stark ($6 billion/defense and technology contractor/armored Avenger)

These are Forbes Magazine's numbers and they don't say exactly how they came up with them. I'm sure there's a very scientific method used :-)

damn

it seems like the animals are richer than the humans

cartoons really don't represent reality
